Thanks
for spending another four hours together again this week on the "Island". It's always a pleasure to have your company
for however long you are available to listen. Even if you miss some or even an
entire show, you can always catch up via the Archive at the Listen page.
And thanks for your nice comments on our salute to Joe South, a terrific recording artist, songwriter and producer. I
enjoyed playing some of Joe's hits along with song songs he wrote and produced
for other artists such as Billy Joe
Royal and Lynn Anderson. If
you'd like to find out more about Joe South, I invite you to read my post at
the Treasure Island Oldies Blog.

Just
near the end of the live show, our Chat
Room server went down and everyone got disconnected. It took me by surprise
too, as I was also disconnected. Our network technicians are looking into the
problem and hope to have everything resolved by next Sunday. If the problem
persists, another option is in the works.

Happy Birthday wishes go out to Scott Harmon in Phenix City, Alabama,
my niece Sara Korytowski and friend
and colleague Colin McDonald, both
in Vancouver British Columbia. If you have a birthday
coming up, send the details of your name, city and birthday date to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com.
I'd sure like to help celebrate your birthday too, by wishing you Happy Birthday
on the show and also by playing Birthday by The Beatles.

The
Treasure Island Oldies Blog continues
our tribute to Joe South with a song
he wrote and produced for Billy Joe Royal. Here's Down In The Boondocks with Billy
Joe Royal. It's our Song Of The Week.
Enjoy!

About Me

I love good music - period, but I have a passion for the music of
the '50, '60s and '70s. I started Treasure Island Oldies for two
reasons: I had to get back on the air; I missed radio so much. I also
got tired of hearing "good times and 'eight' oldies", and knew with all
my previous radio programming experience, I could offer a weekly oldies
show that would feature familiar songs but also a lot of "instant
memories", songs you have not heard since they were first played on the
radio for a short time, then disappeared, seemingly forever. I knew
having someone hear a song they have not heard for literally 30 or 40
years, would touch a nerve. Perhaps the memory of a special occasion,
or maybe just another day, that particular song really caught their ear
back then. And every time I play one of those what I call Lost
Treasures, I get immediate individual feedback from the chat room,
email and my blogs. So I play a lot of music heard hardly anywhere
else. Join me live Sundays 6 to 10 p.m. Pacific, and also, the weekly
show archives at www.TreasureIslandOldies.com Let the memories flow!
